What was the first computer/PC you used?

[Lost_Troll]

My first use of a PC was in vocational school in the mid 80's, it was ALLEN BRADLEY 1770 Industrial Terminal in my Industrial Automation Class. You made programs in BASIC and Ladder Logic to control robotic arms and servo motors.

^^yes, I did not own an ABC80, but this was a part of the school education we had back then. Numerous hours with BASIC, fool proof too

BBC Micro 1982, just finished exams and woodwork teacher had just bought one. Had no idea what do do with it so brought it in to school. I rtf'd the heck out of the m, had aggravating, obnoxious and loud flashing text all over the screen, that he couldn't work out how to stop within 5 mins...

The Philips MSX Home computer was the first computer we played games on at home.
We had few games on cardridge, most on casette tapes. Monitor we used was a small black/white TV.

Casio Casiopeia E100 was my first own "computer". (Still have it somewhere in a box)

I bought a compact-flash modem for it and so I could use DialUp internet everywhere I went.

I started with an Intel 80xx in the late '70ies. I had to solder the whole thing. It had some led characters and 16 led's The programming was in assembler by hand. Translating to HexCode by hand according to a databook and typing it in.

Later i got a Z80. But really programming computers started with an Olivetti M20. With an astonishing 10MB Harddisk in 5 1/2" and doubl height. Later there have been son sharp/casio Pocket-Computers (i.e. Sharp PC-1403). Later i developed on an Amiga 2000.

First ever or first one at home/personally owned?

I mentioned both.

 

[Tomgang]

The first windows based pc i shared between my sister and my parents, used an amd ahtlon xp 1500+ cpu. But the pc was utter crap. All these things that die was ridiculous. It was from a company called Amitech and from Denmark, so it's probably not well known outside of Denmark. Don't know if it even still exists today.

Before that I had a shared Macintosh performa, but I can't remember cpu in that thing as I was like 10 years old at that time.

The first pc i really owned my self and build up was the X58 system i had before my current dual system build. It had first a I7 920 and later a I7 980X.

 

[64K]

My first computer that I owned was a Commodore 64 back in 1985. That was a really cool item for me. Many hours of enjoyment messing around with it.

My first IBM compatible was an XT.

[TheinsanegamerN]

First PC I ever had for myself was a XPS m233s, which I cant find a decent picture of. 32MB of ram, MMX233, and a dell nitro (which I believe was a rebranded S3 card). Good times.

 

[BiggieShady]

My first contact was with the trifecta of the early 80ies as a kid: Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, and less common Amstrad CPC

 

[QckSilver]

All i remember about that thing, is that it was a 1.2GHz AMD Duron and 64MB of RAM
I could barely play Quake 1 on it lmao
